Give Me A Ring
Give Me A Ring
Alan told Will Hatfield to give him a ring if things don't work out. Tongue in cheek no doubt as they certainly will.
I hope he also told Luke Charman to give him a ring in similar circumstances.
Quote from Rochdale forum,
"If i were Charman, i'd be unhappy too, having uprooted from a steady job with the lure of one (perhaps) last chance of making it in professional football. It's a tough old game at times, and looks like he's getting short shrift after being scouted and a fee paid
Of course, that could all be a misinterpretation, but it shouldn't be open to that through being broadcast so publicly - if reports are correct"
Things definitely not working out for the lad, only making cameo appearances from the bench, getting stick from the management in public,
fortunately the fans support him venting their anger on the management. Rochdale have scored 3 goals in their last 7 matches.
Pick up the phone Luke.

Re: Give Me A Ring
I've noticed this, he hasn't been given a start yet in the League. Seems very strange given the circumstances. If they weren't going to play him until next season he could have stayed with us for the rest of the season to get game time.

Re: Give Me A Ring
It has been a little surprising that Charman has not had more game time since joining Rochdale. I put it down to their management trying to ease him back into full time football and not wanting to over use him as he adjusts to the demands of League 2. I would have thought he will really come in to his own next season after he has got a full preseason training behind him.
Re: Give Me A Ring
I thought he did get a start one Saturday but got took off at half time. Newby seems to be scoring their goals these days.PierremontQuaker03 wrote:I've noticed this, he hasn't been given a start yet in the League. Seems very strange given the circumstances.

Re: Give Me A Ring
Newby scored only 6 all season, one in the last 7 games with the team only managing 3 goals in the last 7 games, hence fansQuaker85 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 23, 2022 12:16 pmI thought he did get a start one Saturday but got took off at half time.

are not happy at the treatment of Charman warming his backside on the bench.
Begs the question, why buy him if you are not going to give him a chance in a team that can't score goals.

Re: Give Me A Ring
Don't hold your breath. Luke played the full game in a 2-0 win against Carlisle the other night in front of a massive 2,160 crowd.
Re: Give Me A Ring
The step up of 2 divisions and from part time to full time is a big one. Anyone expecting instant results is a bit of a fool - I expect next season is when Rochdale will see what Charman is or isn't capable of.
Players, especially young ones, need time to adapt to completely new circumstances.

We will be playing at the arena again next season - fact.
Quakerz - if you actually attended games and spoke to people you might actually find our facts, rather than spreading s*** on this board.

Re: Give Me A Ring
Playing quite well last couple of games according to Rochdale forum.
I am sure a full pre-season and he will go from strength to strength, I know we all want him to do so well that Rochdale sell him for big money.
